Up Poetics Cap to 600.

[Warlyx]

penta melded 110 chest is fantastic too. Or even just soldiery chest, but it lacks acc for ppl doing fcob. Soldiery chest has about.....18-20 dex worth of secondary stats? I'm not very informed on such things, but it has a TON of crit/det, which is in no way a fair trade off for a few dex and sksp/acc.

poetics upgraded has 50 dex 33 acc and 47 skill speed (+vit) if i remember well , is a piece to close the acc gap for Fcob ,plus let u use crit food

Bard chest from poetics or T13 should have been crit det period but oh well at least other poetics pieces are good

500 cap rather than 450 or 600 seems more reasonable to me.

The way it sits now is that from zero, you can't even get 1 important piece (hands/feet/head) per week (lowest are 495 each), only an accessory. At least with a 500 cap we'd be able to get 1 important piece per week and still be locked to 2 weeks for a very important piece (body/legs).

The system works ok at 450 but 500 just seems a bit better if they are considering an adjustment.

It was increased from 300 to 450 already.

OP exemplifies the problem with modern gamers. It was 300.. They cried for more. Give them more.. They cry for EVEN MORE.

Square ups it to 600 and in a few months people will be crying for it to be 750.

People are not taking into account that Mysterious Maps are tied to Expert DF. Doing 1 a day still mean 2.5 months before you have your 75 Alexandrite. That is 750 Poetic left on the table while pursuing your Novus weapon. That is almost enough for a body/leg piece. So unless you are telling me that Novus is not worth chasing people will do what is necessary to get Alexandrite. Why should they be forced to surrender Poetic in order to chase these weapons?

[Izsha]

You are saying that it's not fair that people doin Alex daily experts are mistreated because they are over capping poetics to get their relic faster? 'Surrender poetics'? Wow.

Guess I shouldn't do my fcob static after I hit 450 since I'm surrendering poetics. Wouldn't want to clear it for no reason.

Except that the game's support for alt characters is probably worse than its support for alt jobs. Have fun mailing items you need to one of your friends to mail to your alt.

Lets not forget all those super fun fates you get to do to level up the same classes multiple times for cross-class skills, just imagine all those times you have to get lnc to 34 for B4B, acn to 34 for E4E, thm to 26 for swiftcast

This...basically...

^meh I wasn't even aware that happened.

Still a moot point as 450 is under-tuned imo because it doesn't support multi-job very well as by the time you gear out your main, the life-cycle of the current end-game raid is already about half over.

That change that I didn't know about affects by argument: zilch.

So he can call me crying all he wants, the game was pitched around multi-Job benefit.

Just seems silly you have to reach for alternatives or subpar variants (in some cases) to equip an alternate Job for end-game progression.

This game isn't alt-friendly enough for that to be a fair solution. As someone mentioned, you have to regrind all the sub-Jobs too for cross-class, unlock everything over, beat t5, beat t9, mailing to alts is non-existent, & there are no account-bound features or equips.

[Toodles]

I concur. It's about the principle of supporting "multiple Jobs, one character" which this game was advertised around.

It's not enough that we can get outdated gear on an alternate Job.

It doesn't help either that the weekly loot lockout is only conducive to gearing a main until as you mention, the life-cycle of the current end-game is already halfway over.

I think people are being overly dramatic in the sense that 150 more in a week will hardly impact things.

It's irrelevant that they've already raised it as it wasn't enough to support their marketed system.

[Chokee]

are you guys really going to spend it on alts?
